Frighty, I will say this. Maria is always going to revel in the fight, and will always be obnoxious and egg you on. At this point you should realize this and step out. Of course Maria is just as much to blame and responsible. I applaud your ability to stand up for yourself, I just think you go overboard sometimes. And as for Maria, you seem to be provoking fights just for fighting's sake. Your snide remarks (are they attempts to be funny?) reveal an immaturity that i thought you were above.

Ok Joe, I give up. Nobody cares about your english lesson. I wasnt being sarcastic towards you. I was merely stating that I realize i'm not a perfect typer or speaker and that I would be making many more mistakes down the road, so why bother.

If I misunderstood you, my apologies. I'm sure that as we all know by now, the written word here is hard to distinguish from the spoken one. Sometimes it's unclear how we mean it. But I understand what you meant now. My error. I also want to remind you of something that everyone conveniently ignored when I responded to you: Namely, that I am not perfect myself and don't claim to be. I gave the example where I used the word "logistics" the incorrect way. I was only bringing that up to show that I make mistakes too, and when someone pointed it out to me I learned from it and didn't blast him for it.

Theres not one single member on this board that has a problem so bad that they are not understandable.

I beg to differ. For the most part, I'd agree -- but there is one (I won't name the person now) whom I have an extremely difficult time understanding (and since I'm imperfect, I may have misused the word "whom" here ) . Tough to bash me when I bash myself, isn't it?

And Joe -- I don't really have a problem with you after we settled things after the POB (you got over my dig with it and seldom mention it anymore). However, I really disagree with you here. You're telling me that it's OK that Maria started it, but I shouldn't have gone over the top. However, why should Maria be free to say whatever she wants and I have to cool it and back off? OK, maybe I should cool it, but damn it, it's as if I have to tone down my attitude but Maria can be as obnoxious as she wants. I'm sorry, but that's not gonna fly with me.

I didn't agree with Maria about her McCartney "filler" choices, so that's another thing I wanted to cover when I was accused of always taking her side earlier and always bashing Paul over John all the time. Paul's songs on PEPPER are great. I do notice Maria's sharp edge and the way she talks to you, and so forth. But I'm just trying to explain to you (as others have done) that what really sticks out like a sore thumb to me in this particular thread -- for ME, at any rate -- is that you keep going on and on and on about it, and making these incredibly long posts, re-re-quoting your points over and over, demanding that people take note and respond. It's THAT which now sort of takes over and goes beyond Maria's barbs, if you see what I mean.

If this doesn't "fly with you," what can I say? It's my opinion, and I couldn't care less.
